man the 985 brings back some memories. great h/t processor, I agree they are not user upgradeable. Rotel was reprogramming them at the factory to change some DTS settings, sent mine in because the DTS would cut out like half way through a movie. no longer own it though, have upgraded to the 1098.- Bottom

Hi
Read the last post from me in this thread:
There is a list of the FW, that I have seen. They all had different colors - not version numbers.- Bottom

Well...I finally had a chance to peek inside my 985, thanks to the information provided by THXTEX, I was able to locate and identify the firmware chip (IC49) in my unit.
First off, I noticed that my firmware chip had a white sticker on it and going from THXTEX's description, this would mean its an original first run firmware chip. I also noticed that one of the pins was not sitting correctly in the socket, but bent outward. h: I managed to pull the chip out (used a static mat and strap) and carefully bent it back to normal position, then reseating it back into the socket.
Anyway, I plan on e-mailing Rotel and asking if there would be by any chance later firmware chips still available for the RSP-985 kicking around. I know its a long shot, but it's worth a try...Wish me luck!- Bottom

I received an e-mail today from Rotel, telling me that upgraded EPROM chips are still available for the RSP 985 processor. I was given a part #, so I went ahead and placed an order with their parts department...
I'm very impressed with Rotel's response time to my e-mail and this is a big plus in my books. :T- Bottom

Hi,
Glad I could help:-)Will you please tell me the color of the sticker on the chip and if you get other information about the revision.
Oh, can anyone here tell med how my RSP-985 would work with DVDA? I think I read that all analog inputs are sampled - then digitially processed - and then converted back to analog.
What about the 5.1 input - is this input also sampled? I don't think the processor is able to handle 96kHz.- Bottom
